Mexican cinema has largely been overlooked by international film scholars because of a lack of English-language information and the fact that Spanish-language information was difficult to find and often out of date. This comprehensive filmography helps fill the need. Arranged by year of release and then by title, the filmography contains entries that include basic information (film and translated title, production company, genre, director, cast), a plot summary, and additional information about the film. Inclusion criteria: a film must be a Mexican production or co-production, feature length (one hour or more, silent films excepted), fictional (documentaries and compilation films are not included unless the topic relates to Mexican cinema; some docudramas and films with recreated or staged scenes are included), and theatrically released or intended for theatrical release.

Este libro pretende comprender el conjunto de las artes y ciencias del espectáculo, trascendiendo lo que pudiera ser específicamente teatral desde un criterio restrictivo, para abarcar también ámbitos como el circo y la danza. Sus referencias biográficas y terminológicas totalizan más de 20.000 palabras o locuciones, agrupadas en torno a numerosos conceptos y en particular a los siguientes: actor, argot teatral, autor, baile, comedia, director, drama, escenario, espectáculo, iluminación, interpretación, movimientos espirituales, música, personaje, público, puesta en escena, teatro, texto, tragedia y vestuario. Caracterizada por el rigor en su elaboración, la obra centra su análisis en el conjunto de la escena mundial a lo largo de la historia, si bien se presta especial atención al teatro español, y particularmente a nuestros autores, actores y directores contemporáneos.
Whether they appeared on Broadway or the Strand, the shows appearing in 1924 epitomized the glamor of popular musical theatre. What made this particular year so distinctive – so special – was the way it brought together the old and the new, the venerated and the innovative, and the traditional and the chic. William Everett, in his compelling new book, reveals this remarkable mid-Roaring Twenties stagecraft to have been truly transnational, with a stellar cast of producers, performers and creators boldly experimenting worldwide. Revues, musical comedies, zarzuelas and operettas formed part of a thriving theatrical ecosystem, with many works – and their leading artists – now unpredictably defying genres. The author demonstrates how fresh approaches became highly successful, with established leads like Marie Tempest and Fred Stone appearing in new productions even as youthful talents such as Florence Mills, Fred and Adele Astaire, Gertrude Lawrence and George Gershwin now started to make their mark.
